Day Camp

My first week of camp I was assigned to day camp. Day camp is composed of kindergarten to third graders. The campers arrived between 8 and 8:30 A.M. We keep them active with such activities as Bible stories, games, crafts and swimming. The same kids come every day for a week (Mon.-Fri.). It was not long into my first week that I realized that day camp is nothing more than organized chaos. These children have an unbelievable amount of energy. There are five counselors to look over thirty children. The kids are a ton of fun but can be a hassle to watch after. Every once in a while one will try to run away just for the sake of running away. This is a tiring week but we do get some free time in the afternoon. Also since our campers leave at 3:30 we are able to play night games with lodge and wilderness camps. These are a lot of fun and include Romans and Christians, Bible Smugglers, Capture the Glow Stick and Bonkers. These are a lot of fun and the lodge campers love us because we play with them.
